I had hopeful tears leaving NC with The Aldecaldos and Judy
Used-Statistician225
Not really cry but more like âdamn that shit is sad.â Is when V tells Johnny âjust promise me one thing asshole, you wonât forget me.â And when Johnny tells V goodbye in the cure ending of phantom liberty

Yes. A few.
Finally did the Tower ending this morning.
blasterjaeger
The last part of the very last mission in Phantom liberty
Buns-n-stuff
I played the game for years and never really did the story. I played the story for the first time about a year ago because of Edgerunners, and I decided to romance Panam. I decided to make V dance with her and I Really Want To Stay At Your House started playing while they were dancing together, I teared up a little and just let V and Panam have their moment because it made me think that if David survived him and Lucy would be on the moon together doing the same damn thing, kinda didnât help I was wearing Davidâs jacket too

Man, the ofrenda with mama welles giving her goodbyes, after having walked the garage and recounting Jackie’s hopes and dreams.

Phantom Liberty made me reconsider my life decisions for weeks,was expecting a happy ending.

I didn’t cry, but I had a huge sigh of disappointment during The Killing Moon. Despite everything she did, a part of me wanted So Mi to live.
The disappointment came when Reed showed up. From that moment, I didn’t think of him as an enemy or an acquaintance. He was just an obstacle in my way. Bearing Alex’ words in mind, I got rid of the problem. You don’t kill just because. You only kill if they’re in your way.

Most recently, the temperance ending. Johnny paying for V’s nook at the Columbarian and leaving the amulet. This was the second time someone gave their life for him, and you can tell you really left a lasting impression on him.
No-Lie-677
I woke up from the coma…
Mioch
Jackie, Johnny and V parting ways in Mikoshi, Johnny’s grave scene and when johnny said goodbye to V in that helicopter. There’s a few more but damn I cried at so many moments haha, this game gives the feels.

The ofrenda and phantom liberty’s additional game ending.

The suicide ending really twisted me up. I had to stay off the game for a few days.

The one that just immediately comes to mind is that mission under Regina, where you have to recover the klepped meds from the veteran.
Depending on the dialogue, the vet offs himself as you walk away. You can circle back to check the noise, and Johnny says, “Well, there it is…” The vet’s PC has emails from his therapist, expressing concern over missed therapy appointments….
…My brother served in the U.S. military. He wasn’t the same person when he came back from overseas. He’s still with us, but it’s entirely too easy – frighteningly easy – to see him going down a similar path. I think he even knew people who did the same thing. So, that mission moved me to tears.
Cyberpunk’s got a few moments like that in it, that… They’re exaggerations, fictionalized, dramatized reflections of reality. And those are the ones that hit home the hardest.
schnick3rs
Tower ending hit me hard, when the cinematic starts and Misty grapes your hand…. Ufff
TwoBlackCats42
The Devil ending wrecked me. Was also my first ending.
Gaboub
I already knew it was coming, but >! Jackie’s death !< had me tearing up. Cherami Leigh’s acting really made that scene for me.
Kid_SixXx
I found Rebecca and Pilar’s flat in the game. There might’ve been a tear or two shed.
battledroid014
I didn’t cry during the main story ending etc, however getting the King of Wands ending, I lost so bad I didn’t expect the ending to hit me so hard. It was likeseeing the end of Edgerunners all over again.
leonskanade
I haven’t done all the endings yet (only Sun ending) so I’ll probably cry at those, but I did cry at making my choice and saying goodbye to Johnny.
I cried the most at Jackie’s death and again at the oilfields scene. Nothing else so far!
wantsomerice
When they started playing “never fade away” during the credits after my first playthrough, I almost cried. Cyberpunk is the only game that almost made me cry
xdeltax97
The Heist failure, the clinic meetings with Vik and The Star Ending.
raphi-ent_
not very far into the game yet but joshuas sidequest somehow really hit me (despite not being religious myself)
especially at the praying together before nailing him to the cross.
And yeah iâm still not over Jackie..
SlyTinyPyramid
Almost everytime I watched Jackie die in all of my playthroughs I have cried. I am getting to the point where now I just tear up. I love this game.

“Today was a good day, V.”

âCouldâve told me the truth, woulda helped you anyway.â
I really grew attached to So Mi as a foil for V and a character in her own right, so I really loved basically every bit of the King Of Wands ending and the emotion it brought out.
The betrayal, the resolve to still help her anyway, seeing Vâs situation mirrored right back at her, I knew that my V just couldnât subject someone else to her fate (arguably worse) to save herself. I personally like the idea that along the way V kind of stopped fighting for her own cure and was focused more on saving Songbird after seeing the NUSAâs treatment of her anyway. Then Reedâs ending, and the talks with Johnny in the aftermath was the cherry on top.
Tarushdei
The ending to the intro where you lose a pretty big character they spent the last 4 hours building up a strong relationship with hit me damn hard.
Still haven’t finished CB or PL yet, so I’m expecting some other difficult emotional trials. I’m heavily invested in both characters and the world and I’m putting it off to do side missions.
Waste_Economies
Singbird’s ending got me more than I thought it would.
Fanboycity
Basically all of the endings (for different reasons, some happier than others) and the entire second half of Phantom Liberty when you realize absolutely *nothing* you do will have a âhappyâ ending for all involved. It still haunts me to this day months later.
Malcapon3
Jackieâs viewing got me good. Adding that layer really added to the realism factor for me.
AloysiusFreeman
The closest thing is having my breath taken away during the Clouds mission where you chat with the doll. That was a beautiful scene
ThatCrazyBtch85
the first time i played through Phantom liberty >!and got the cure, i called Judy expecting to either meet up and restart a new life or something but instead i got sucker punched in the gut when she said she moved on and was happily married.!<
neonvalkyrie
I know it’s meant to make you feel this, but the whole back and forth inside mikoshi completely destroyed me. Same with space station part of the Devil ending
aendeulyu0403
PL ending, at the ship on your way to the surgery… that Johnny dialog made me question my whole Cuberpunk life.

Not asking You to never give up. Sometimes You gotta let it go. Just don’t let anyone change who you really are, ‘kay? G’nite V. Today was a good day

yoboinameiskboi2000
After finishing the game with Dont Fear The Reaper when Johnny tells V to never stop fighting,really made me shed a tear.

When V tried to call Panam after waking up from the coma and she doesnât pick upâŠthen because we couldnât go with her after 2 years⊠vik a real one tho

When I found out that I couldnât romance Judy with male V. ;(

Jackie’s death had me like this:
